赶紧 in a hurry
“赶紧” is an adverb that means “doing something against time or in a hurry”, usually put before a verb.
我看见爸爸把“福”字倒过来贴，就赶紧说，“福倒了！”
I noticed that “福” was put upside-down, so I said hastily, “福 is reversed!”
Example:
(1) 要下雨了，你赶紧回家吧！
(2) 妈妈生病了，要赶紧去医院。
一下子 immediately
“一下子”, adverb, means “in a very short time”and is usually put before a predicate adjective or verb.
